Email Spam

Thinking of launching an email advertising or sales campaign? Think twice before you begin. In recent years spam or electronic junk mail has increased exponentially. Estimates are that over 40% of all internet traffic is spam, and that this number is still growing.

Spam messages are often fraudulent, offensive or annoying, and they often carry viruses.
In 2003 the Australian Government introduced the Spam Act. It is managed and enforced by ACMA, the Australian Communications and Media Authority. ACMA has guidelines and advice regarding how you should manage e-mail lists and what you can and cant’ do with your client’s email address. Learn more at their website
